Thanks for all your responses -- especially herr_prof for the pointer towards chipflip!

Hi all,

I'm writing an ethnomusicology paper for my university Music Appreciation class and I'd like to get your answers to a few questions for use in my paper.

So if you've got a moment, please help me out! I've gotta fill 7-10 pages by Monday. This'll be crazy.

Questions time!

1.) How did you get into chiptunes/chip music (as a listener and/or as a creator)?

2.) What, in your mind, defines "chip music" and/or "chiptunes"?

3.) If you had to pick one defining track to give to someone who's never heard any chiptunes/chip music in their life, what track would you pick (and why)?

4.) I've seen some discussion regarding what instruments are used -- what instruments do you feel are defining for chip music or chiptunes as a whole? (I promise this is not flamebait. Please don't yell and scream and such here. I'm just gathering general opinion/feeling).

Thanks in advance to anyone willing to help out!
